Forbes Rankings Out New Mexico Tumbling

Susan Martinez
New Mexico Is Dropping Rapidly In Forbes’ Rankings, Now 35th Out Of 50 States. “New Mexico dropped eight spots to No. 35 on Forbes’s latest annual list of the best states for business. New Mexico ranked No. 27 in 2009.” (Mark Harden, “Forbes: New Mexico Is 35th-Best State For Business,” New Mexico Business Weekly, 10/14/10). New Mexico Is Ranked 35th For Regulatory Environment & 49th For Quality Of Life. (Mark Harden, “Forbes: New Mexico Is 35th-Best State For Business,” New Mexico Business Weekly, 10/14/10)
The Susana Martinez for Governor Campaign released the following statement in response to the new Forbes state rankings: “The new Forbes study showing New Mexico dropping to 35th on its latest annual list of the best states for business is a sobering reminder of the effect the failed policies of the Richardson/Denish Administration have had on our state. We can no longer afford to continue the taxing, spending and arbitrary regulating as supported by Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish. Instead, we need bold change, which will create a pro-growth environment resulting in small business job creation.
In addition, a Martinez Administration would issue regulations based on science and pragmatism – as opposed to favoritism and patronage – so that we can have a balanced approach that lets industry thrive, while also protecting our natural resources. The choice in this election is clear, Susana Martinez will turn New Mexico around, while Diane Denish will advance the same policies that led to job loss, government growth and historic debt.”
